Luka 15
1 Koro josol osuru gi joricho nochokore machiegni mondo giwinje.
Now all the tax-gatherers and sinners continued to draw near him, and to listen to him.
2 To jo-Farisai gi Jopuonj Chik ne ngʼur kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni rwako joricho kendo ochiemo kodgi.”
And the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"
3 Eka Yesu nogoyo nigi ngero ni:
And he told them a parable.
4 “Ka ngʼato kuomu dibedi ni en gi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo e pap kama ler kendo odhi omany rombo molal nyaka oyude?
"Which one of you men, if he has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 To ka oyude, okete e goke komor
"And after he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder, rejoicing.
6 kendo odhiyo dala. Eka oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo nyarombona ma yande olal.’
"When he gets home he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
7 Awachonu ni kamano e kaka mor nobedi e polo kuom jaricho achiel molokore, moloyo mor kuom ji piero ochiko gochiko mabeyo ma ok dwar weyo richo.
"I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance.
8 “Kata ka dibed ni nitie dhako man-gi silinge mamingli apar, to achiel olalne. Donge domok taya, kendo yweyo ot, ka omanye maber mondo omi oyude?
"Or, again, suppose a woman has ten coins. If she loses one, does she not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search anxiously until she finds it?
9 To ka oyude, oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo pesana manolal.’
"And when she has found it, she calls together her woman friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’
10 Mana kamano, awachonu e kaka mor e nyim malaika mag Nyasaye nobedie kuom jaricho achiel moweyo richo.”
"Even so I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels for God over one sinner who repents."
11 Yesu nomedo wacho niya, “Ne nitie ngʼato moro mane nigi yawuowi ariyo.
And he said. "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Wuowi ma chogo nowacho ni wuon mare ni, ‘Wuora, pogna mwanduna makora.’ Omiyo mano nopogo yawuote ariyogo mwandune.
"The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your property which is coming to me.’ So he divided his means among them.
13 “Bangʼ ndalo manok, wuowi machogono nokawo gige duto moloko pesa, eka nowuok modhi e piny mabor to kuro notiyo gi mwandune e yor dak e ngima mar anjawo.
"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.
14 Kane osetieko pesane duto, kech mager nowuok e pinyno duto, mi nodoko jachan machandore.
"After he had spent everything there came a terrible famine in the land, and he began to be in want.
15 Kuom mano nodhi mondo otine japiny moro, mi ngʼatno nokete jakwa anguro.
"So he went and hired to one of the citizens of that land, who sent him out into the fields to feed swine.
16 Nogombo mondo ocham opokla ma anguro chamo, to bende onge ngʼato mane omiye gimoro.
"And he was longing to be filled with the husks which the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 “Kane parone odwogone, nowacho ni, ‘Jotij wuonwa adi man-gi chiemo moromogi, madongʼ, to an to kech chama monego atho!
"When he came to himself he said. "‘How many of my father’s hired men have bread enough and to spare, while I am perishing of hunger!
18 Abiro wuok kendo adog ir wuora mi anawachne ni: Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi.
"‘I will rise and go to my father, and say to him. "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight,
19 Ok awinjora koro oluonga ni wuodi; keta abed kaka achiel kuom jotichni.’
"‘"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."‘
20 Omiyo noa malo kendo nodhi ir wuon mare. “To kane pod en kuma bor, wuon mare nonene, kendo kopongʼ gi kech kuome, noringo kodhiyo ir wuode, nokwake gi bade kendo nonyodhe.
"So he arose and went to his father; but while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
21 “Wuowino nowachone ni, ‘Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi. Ok awinjora koro mondo oluonga ni wuodi.’
"The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son.’
22 “To wuon mare nowacho ne jotichne ni, ‘Timuru piyo kendo keluru law maberie moloyo mondo urwakne. Ketneuru tere e lith lwete kendo wuoche mondo urwakne e tiende.
"‘Fetch the best robe, quick,’ said the father to his slaves, ‘and put it on him, and give him a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet.
23 Keluru nyarwath machwe uyangʼ. Wachamuru wabed mamor.
"‘Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,
24 Nikech wuodani yande otho, to koro onwangʼe.’ Kamano negichako timo nyasi ka gimor.
"‘for this son of mine was dead and is alive again - he was lost and is found.’
25 “E kindeno, noyudo ka wuowi maduongʼ ni e puodho. Kane obiro machiegni gi ot nowinjo wer gi miel.
"So they began to make merry. But his elder son was in the field, and as he drew near to the house he heard music and dancing,
26 Omiyo noluongo achiel kuom jotich kendo nopenje ni en angʼo matimore.
"and he summoned one of the slaves, and began to inquire of him what all this meant.
27 Nodwoke ni, ‘Owadu osedwogo, to wuonu osenego nyarwath machwe nikech osedwogo kongima kendo maber.’
"‘Your brother is come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him safe and sound.’
28 “To wuowi maduongʼ mirima nomako, kendo notamore donjo e ot. Omiyo wuon mare nowuok oko odhiyo ire kendo nosaye mondo odonji.
"But he was angry and would not go in; so his father came out, and attempted to plead with him; but he said to his father.
29 To nodwoko wuon mare ni, ‘Neye, hignigi duto asebedo katiyoni ka misumba kendo aserito chikeni. To eka pok imiyoa kata mana nyadiel mondo ayangʼ, abedgo mamor kod osiepena.
"‘All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you never gave me even a kid so that I might make merry with my friends.
30 To ka wuodini, moseketho gigegi gi mon ma jochode ka obiro dala, to iyangʼone nyarwath machwe!’
"‘But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.’
31 “Wuon mare nowacho niya, ‘Wuoda, in koda ndalo duto, kendo gik moko duto ma an-go gin magi.
"‘My dear son,’ answered his father, ‘you are always with me and all that is mine is yours.
32 To nyaka ne wabed mamor kendo bed moil, nikech owaduni yande otho to koro ongima, kendo yande olal to koro oyude!’”
"‘But it was fitting that we should make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; he was lost and is found.’"
